Segovia

Segovia is known for its collosal aqueduct, the largest and best preserved of the Roman Empire. The city is surrounded by hills and a green belt, where we did a really nice hike while enjoying the best views of the Alcazar and the Cathedral!

On our way to Toledo, we tried to visit Valle de los Caidos and El Escorial, but forgot that Monday is often closing day, rookie mistake! We hiked to 'Silla de Felipe II' to catch a glimpse of the enormous monastery-palace. According to tradition, King Filips II supervised construction of the seat of his empire from this seat carved into rock. Boomie became friends with the prettiest cows along the hike!Read more
